F-18FL French Navy

That's a cool idea! ME want to see the profile ASAP!!!
Maybe we can de-stocked some old Martels, BOA and CALMAR ECM pods (the Jaguar looked really impressive with this weapon combo)  

[B777LR]

yep your right! That's "house of something-I-can't-remember-what..."  ^_^

Sure it isnt Rising sun? I remember something like morning glory etc....


Nice backstory pollux

[RLBH]

If my two words of Arabic are to be trusted, "Dar es Salaam" might mean something like "House of Welcome".

[Shasper]

Salaam would be a slang for peace?

Shas B)

[PolluxDeltaSeven]

As far as I remember, and if the poor Arab bases my grand-ma learned to me are not totally roten, Dar Es Salaam could be translate in French by "Havre de Paix"...
Maybe something like "Haven of Peace", but I don't know if I could translate this litteraly...
House of Peace...

"Salaam" is not always used as "peace", but most of time... It had a great religious sense, it often mean a kind of "celest or divine peace", you see?




And well, for the Prowel in French colors, I'm working on it!!

[B777LR]

Is it done yet?

Nudge nudge

bump bump

wink wink

 

 

[PolluxDeltaSeven]

well, not yet, but pretty soon!!
I added the shadows and lights, and just have to put the markings on it, and maybe working on the cokpit...

But for the moment, I enjoy few days in Swiss with friends

After a large delay (sorry for that!!) here is the French EA-6B I promised to B777LR!!



This plane is one of the six EA-6F operationnals in the "Flottille 6F" (6th Operationnal Squadron) of the Marine Nationale.

See the complete backstory in a previous post

[BlackOps]

PDS, she's a real beauty!

[PolluxDeltaSeven]

Thanks for the nice comments

I think such a EA-6F could be well introduced in two of my main Alternate History: this one with the F-18FL and the one with the South American Navies (due to some technical relations between the Brazilian Super Etendard I described and this plane).
That explain why I decided to draw the plane in an international exercice in Brazil

Ooooh, nice!

EA-6F = Aeronavale EA-6B or EA-6B with engine and wing upgrades of A-6F?

I just wondered as I managed to acquire one of the C-Scale A-6F conversion kits.

[Archibald]

I think the F stay for France. But an EA-6F "Super Prowler" is a cool idea (never thought about that before...).
What about an EA-12 "Prowler II" ? (ideas come quickly today!!)
An EA-5C would be cool, too... there's more room in a vigilante than a in a superbug...
